I have been following the BBB method for 1 year now (I guess it's my anniversary) but I have never needed to adjust my TA, it has always been in the acceptable range for a manually chlorinated pool. We have had more than 3 inches of rain here in the last 24 hours so I knew that the water was...

It is costly but there are benefits besides the pure enjoyment 1) Children who have pools learn to swim which in my opinion, EVERYONE should know. We have just had a hurricaine here in NC and the flooding is record-breaking. 18 people have drowned so far that we know of. 2) Your house becomes...

I have a pool heater and had thought about using it some since the nights here are getting cooler but the days are still in the 80s. I know that makes a difference but I'm not quite there on understanding all the implications while trying to make the pool water resistant to scale.

PoolguyinCT - The scale is not visible to the eye unless it gets algae growth on it, which it did this week. The pool looks great now and I passed the occult test last night. It was a short slam-thank the Lord. The scale feels like sandpaper to the touch. LeeBo - The liner was replaced 3 years...

I am currently slamming the pool because I have been neglecting it since school started and developed algae in the bottom and sides of the pool. It is looking much better now. I joined TFP at the beginning of this season so following the methods here for 5 months now. (My husband always...

"pool serviced trichlor puckified pool" You are too funny

I have been using the TFP methods for 6 weeks or so but my pH has been running on the high end of normal. I still had some pH down from the pool store so I used it but now need to add something I've never done before-muratic acid. I looked for some at Lowes the other day (because I knew I was...

Thank you zea3! I made a trip to the pool company and picked up a new Hayward key, cover, and handle assembly along with the o-ring and lube (my waste line would not reach the pool). I came home and got it back together and it is working great! I know it is a small project but it was a lot for...

I don't know what a key assembly is-does that mean I need to replace the top, or a seal, or the whole multiport? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ok, decided to take the top off(by myself) and this is what I found. All the parks look normal, not warped. The green sealer was absent on part-it was not even on the main body. The metal parts in the multiport look fine. There does look to a crack in the center white part of the lid but this...

Thanks duraleigh! My hubby doesn't want to touch it and if I do anything with it, I may never hear the end of it. My pool repair fella is in California till Thursday. I did find some videos online. It doesn't look too hard. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
